Philadelphia at Boston, Game 7

1981 Eastern Conference Finals, Game 7
May 3, 1981: The Celtics had pulled off the best record in the East and were led by 2nd year Larry Bird, rookie Kevin McHale, Robert Parish and Nate "Tiny" Archibald. The Sixers had Julius Erving in his prime along with Mo Cheeks, Lionel Hollins, Andrew Toney, Darryl "Chocolate Thunder" Dawkins and Bobby Jones. The Sixers had raced out to a 3-1 series lead but the young Celtics battled back in Games 5 and 6 to bring this to a memorable Game 7 at the Boston Garden.

February 3, 1987
Dominique Wilkins exploded for 54 points, 40 of them after halftime to lead the Hawks in a super game versus the Boston Celtics led by Larry Bird's triple double. An exciting encounter that went to overtime that wasn't decided until the very last seconds.

April 26, 1991: One of the more classic First Round series of all-time! The story of this series was Larry Bird's back and his heroic entrance during the 3rd quarter of a classic Game 5. A struggle between the aging Celtics led by Bird, Kevin McHale and Robert Parish and the upstart Indiana Pacers led by star Chuck Person and up and coming players Reggie Miller and Rik Smits.

May 5, 1991: One of the more memorable deciding games of all-time. Bird goes down hard late in the 2nd quarter and does not emerge at the start of the 2nd half. Halfway though the 3rd he comes out of the tunnel a-la Willis Reed (1970 Knicks) much to the delight of the fans and players....

May 7, 1991: This Eastern Conference Semi-Final match-up marked the end of the Celtics - Pistons dominance in the East. One last chance for the stars of the 1980's, namely Larry Bird, Kevin McHale, Robert Parish, Isiah Thomas, Joe Dumars and others to show how much they wanted once more title and the series didn't disappoint.

1992 Eastern Conference Semi-Final: The Celtics last hurrah. The 1980's was the decade of the Magic and Bird, the Lakers & Celtics.
